"samaritan" poems
I made a promise to myself long before, That never again would I write no more, Because I only felt Darkness... I sit at a crossroads and no matter which way I look, Nor would it matter which direction I took, Because I only saw Darkness... I await a door to be opened but all remain locked, From any such light my sight seems to be blocked, I can feel the Darkness... Being the good samaritan will get you nowhere in this life, Nice guys finish last in my back hangs out a knife, I only see Darkness... As much as I pray to the Light, There is absolutely no light in my sight, I only see Darkness... Is the Light truly your friend, Because every day just feels like the end, I feel only Darkness... Faith, Hope and Love, I could use some help from above, I see only Darkness... When I search my body for my soul, But think long ago the Darkness has stole, I must have lost it to the Darkness... I pray but I see no light at the end, I guess that Darkness is my friend, I can feel the Darkness... In a world of black and white, When that road is the only one that feels right, Time to embrace the Darkness......    © P.I. 2014

Darkness
Whenever there's a damsel in distress, Whenever there's a burning building, Whenever there's something bad happening, The hero comes and saves the day! Whether they're a firefighter or just a good samaritan. But what about the hero? Who saves them? Sometimes on the way to saving someone else, We lose the fight against ourselves.

hero
The fish does not understand Water But the stray-nine Understands home Sometimes it takes an absence A negativity, a darkness From the dust dream rises Like stars from the void Someone rides an elevator up Your spine and Bridge The direction is born Soul tendrils extend and Embrace tender lock of we Season together The fat men starve before the Peasant because they Have never really Ached In their stomachs In their bones When you live in famine Scraps can sustain And yet Will you still notice the Seven shade cycle rainbow-nectaring From the street lanterns? Or the Diamonds In ivory fro-banks glittering sparks? When you are full Will you Ponder the pulsar’s violence? Will you Spare the stranger and Samaritan oft? When you are full Don’t lose it Sadness is Your prism Choose the spectrum Transcend the neut and stag You can be their Atlas They Need It

161. Prism 1/10/13
You are going to find yourself Hating everyone. And it should come as no surprise That one day you'll pick up smoking Because that fat ***** you fell for Thought you looked **** doing it. Men will crave your lips Not for kisses but for ******** And you will have to battle them On every insistence. You will sleep with a teddy bear, Human-sized Well into adulthood Because there will be nights That you are so disconnected from the world That you feel as though you are floating. You will be sneered at By mental hospital nurses At the age of sixteen As you visit your boyfriend For your first date In Good Samaritan hospital. They will see your youth And rage inside. You will waste yourself. You will die and redeem Within yourself. You will fall in love With a man much older than you And suddenly Thirty won't seem So old at all. Thirty will seem Like a world your old soul Could get lost in. And you will. And it will be wonderful. You will become paranoid. Walking to church at midnight With the love of your life, You will constantly Be looking over your shoulder. You will forever Be looking over your shoulder. This will become A necessary hobby. You will tear down your Beatles posters And replace them with Wes Anderson ones Shamelessly. You will come to a point Where you hate yourself In a most incomprehensible way But you will write a poem And you will be paid for it And you will pay your cell phone bill with the money And you will be successful. You will have your escape plan But you will never use it. You will never need to. His charm and his wit And the way his eyes sparkle when he sees you Will keep you rooted Even when you are ready To book it. You'll be subpoenaed And you will hate it And ***** over it And you will have to stand trial But life is a trial And you will win.

Use a little compassion Show some humanity Basted in boredom In touch with insanity How many flies will have to die before her thirst is sated? How many eyes will have to pry to show what you've wasted? Worming through the night scheming, hell bent forestalling my demise with evil intent. She'll tend the garden Like a perfect person But her heart is hardened as she mixes the poison. Beware the water Beware the daughters Beware the good Samaritan.

Evil Intent
Many people remind us of the Lord. They venture into places we dare not go. It might be the ghetto or the wealthy side of town. Where pretense is in the people you know? They have the heart of the Good Samaritans. Where assisting those in need? Is there only agenda. They mean no harm. And many never seem alarm. But more comfortable. It's been stated many of us live in a comfort zone. Surrounded by security from the real sociaty. Where fear controls your every move? These brave souls acts on reaction. Always seeking a satifaction to the crisis. They have the heart of a Good Samaritan. Emergency Technicians. They have the heart of a Good Samaritan. Fire personnel. They have the heart of a Good Samaritan. Law enforcement. They have the heart of a Good Samaritan. Counselors, charity workers. They have the heart of a Good Samaritan. All honorable soldiers. They have the heart of a Good Samaritan. And brave parents. They have the heart of a Good Samaritan. Especially when we see them stand up to those trying to be mean. When others would avoid getting involved. We must remember there are those that honorable in the eyes of God. When people with titles refuses to fight. They need to remember they walking in darkness instead of the light. Comfortable in doing wrong. Instead of doing right.

The Heart of A Good Samaritan
In God We Trust, For He Invented Reasonable Doubt In Courtroom of the State of New York, Part 62, where the only decoration extant, in gold leaf letters, a magnificent joke, In God We Trust. Words so incongruous to the real time drama, a poorly acted Law and Order episode of which I partake, (as Juror No. 1, ergo you may address me as Mr. Jury Foreman), they stun me into stupefaction every time we enter and the Bailiff pronounces with much gravitas, "Jury Entering" A potpourri of a dozen Manhattanites, with wisdom acquired by the singular virtue of having attained the robust age of 18, noteworthy for being free of criminal record, having been nominated to sit upon the jury that will decide the fate of one Eric B., for what he may have done upon West 11th Street one Summer night in June Two Thousand and Eleven, If adjudged guilty, New York State can take, incarcerate him for up to 15 years of his life Predicate felon by the age of twenty seven, Eric's resume consists of four felonies, two misdemeanors a wife and two little children, and a partridge in a pear tree. Facts turgid and muddy, Eric tells a story one juror calls a confection of lies, no one murmurs much disagreement in the tiny, overheated room we have been sequestered to replay the 2012 version of Twelve Angry Men. But I am not his peer, nor am I a seer, common sense says if appearances are what they seem to be, he aided and abetted in the forcible taking of a nice Connecticut lady's cell phone with his brother who just happened to be released from prison earlier that day A convoluted tale ripe with inanities is told, upshot is our defendant's tale, his robust defense, portrays him as the unluckiest man in the whole world, a good Samaritan, *{chasing after the thief, ** ** his bro}* against whom events have conspired In Manhattan can be a harsh place, where the natives a tough lot, tougher than the Indians from whom they stole it all. Our bridges we sell to out-of-towers, all it takes is one to say, what the heck, reasonable doubt is a ***** to overcome so let him go Jan, 2012

What Easter Really Means To Me The pain that he had felt that day in the garden. Knowing full well that he had to go to the cross. As they spit in his face with blood gushing out his flesh yet he pressed on. Having stopped briefly for a good samaritan to go further to carry his cross.Jesus Christ died almost 2, 000 years ago. On the cross for all the world to see. What was his prayer what was his final plea ? Father, forgive them for they know not what they do. He said the prayer now the rest is up to you. Just imagine having to wear a crown of thorns upon your head ? Having large nails go through your skin into this bone with blood gushing out. Spear in his side. Those many lashes that he took upon him by the Roman guards. Still he endured the pain knowing full well he had to die to fulfill his great mission. By taking all of mankinds sins upon himself. Happy Easter Everyone & God Bless You (Poet Mario William Vitale).

What Easter Really Means To Me.
The nice Samaritan meant well but tended to wait to hesitate just long enough to be too late to make a real difference and instead stood and watched struck dumb as the world went to hell in a handcart

Nice Samaritan
Cloaked eyes of white Open throat cries dry Echoed padding cadence Panting tremours Unable to get away The streets are unsafely empty Equality to walk No illiberal clocking in I have a cogent life Will not cede segregation The struggle, snapped the stem Stole the stamen from my flower Shook my pollenous verve Scattered my soulful scent Destroyed my confidence to regrow Sneering the lonesome wolf Crushes the very flowers that will save it Without heart of virtue Praying  on those they cannot have Betrays their own soul without anguish Proto-stalkers seek help Decant your desires Throw off your fur coat Open up and do not venture into a nightmare Your Samaritan will always befriend and guide Lay down your sword Change the parochial pathway Magnanimous now live Fields of flowers beckon Don't be a brick in the wall Embrace the feminine essence Yield flowers their blossom Steer the legislation to counter the wolven spread More tulips amongst thorny parliamentarians Educate the children and those in power

Hijab is for all
I gave blood today; I wanted to be a Good Samaritan, help those in need. My blood, after all, is healthy, pure. The thing is though, is that as I watched my life slowly ebb into the pint-sized plastic bag of rescue, I was imagining how lovely it would be for all of it to flow out, into a bag, into the bath, into the universe. To be empty, weightless, cold. As the blood pulsed out of my veins and my arm became weaker, I wished for my eyes to close and for my thoughts to slow down, for the discombobulate realm I call my life to slowly disappear or at least evolve into a breathtaking pasture of wispy freedom. Once my arm was emptied and the possible end was stopped, they told me - drink up, drink up, eat up, eat up - replenish the sugar and tiny hemoglobin cells that I so gracefully supplied. I took hold of the juice, and I took hold of the cookie, but once out of sight, I tossed them to the side. I wanted the feeling of faintness, dizziness, the insecurity of being caught in between two worlds. And as I sit here now with a muted mind and a slight headache, I am slightly pleased.

In my mind. I envision being your Superman. With the power to protect your heart. Like him. I wants to do it all. In my mind. I visualize being Green Arrow. With my arrow and bow aimed at your heart. Because like Cupid noticed during his time.. I selected you to have my love. In my dreams. I thought about Wonderman. Which man doesn't want a Wonder Woman. One that's amazing from head to toe. In my heart. I guess I could be Spiderman. Just catching you within my web trap. Just pulling you closer. In my soul. I just wants to connect to you. The way many impressive heroes do. It could be the police. The fire department workers. Or just a Good Samaritan. Whatever style of hero you seek? I wants you see them all within me. Because you so unselfishly give your heart to me.

Your ****** My Mind)
When you see a soul hurt or tortured, in pain Do you walk past? Stop? Or run away You probably can't help them You won't understand why Just being there to listen Can save a life No judging,  no lecture,  no telling you so Just hold them and listen Till the fear starts to go Fear of living or dying Loving or loss A body to hold them till the pain has passed Now look at them closely for all you will see Is a reflection of all that you'll ever be The new Samaritan is me It is also in you In a world full of pain Only love can break through

New Samaritan
By Arcassin Burnham Fixing to be a dead man, But you're a dead beat, Thought you'd learned something by now, But you ain't hearing me, Can't hide from the truth, Swear that you could provide, Thinking your the truth, But your a lie, Just a lying ************ in disguise, Don't hide your head lil' boy, To the streets you a toy, To be played with and controlled, I will always avoid, Ignorance is in the room, The devil won't protect you, But you ain't hearing me, Keep laughing, Trying to be the good Samaritan, Your own family wouldn't want any Strikes on them, And I don't blame them, Hoping the Lord could save them, You're no man, Your no provider, You're a ******* crook mixed with a Scared little liar, Boy want nothing to do With the stupid activities you do, And all the people that hang around you, I just keep a hit list or two, So please don't try me you sorry excuse, From you claim to be, Nobody has respect for you.

"Step-dad (So Called) Pt.1"
Back-stabber count your silver coins, all thirty pieces do enjoy. For thou have torn it from the **** of he whom thou deem to destroy. Conveyed before said holy male who fears to take decision home. Responsibility he doth bale, forth-giving this to man of Rome. Upon to Pilate do I see. Should I relinquish my belief? Will mine own peoples see me free instead of murderer or thief? In my defence nought do I speak to only God do I ask praise. Forgive me not for thou art week and power to thee is but a phase. Upon mine head a crown of thorns secured firmly into place as harassed by unfriendly scorn. Holy blood, bathes holy face. Barbs of metal scourge my all, unlawful hurt do I withstand. Burdened with weight I make a fall. Samaritan doth lend a hand. Rods of steel fix flesh and bone to that of mans' wooden ***** In painful agony, though not alone, with Holy Father I connect. Hoisted aloft on knoll of high. Visible means to fear their weight. Drawn upright, that I may die. Design to clear of human slate. Soon this pain will free of me. My passing so that they may live. Exalted father thou can see this son gives all a son can give.

Back-Stabber
torrential teardrops join pavement transforming surface to sheets of glass patient trees plants flowers quenching their thirst stray animals bemused hovering with caution only to find shelter in the rustic shed the good samaritan leaves scraps through the makings of savory soup passing cars washed in rain will sparkle come sun lounging indoors focusing through drenched windows raindrops like opals pattering on copper roof cascade as peaceful shower fairytale sound, sight and smells invite nestling with a book cup of tea and scone complete the pallet with glowing candles a sanctuary of chopin preludes surrendering to peaceful sleep.~~lorilynn copyright*lorilynn 2010

~ She draws water from the well, an old drink for new clientele. She "loves" living next to airports, big shiny airports, named after gruesome visionaries and drunk, womanizing actor sorts. She "loves" wearing a Chinese dress and sitting in a Chinese chair, posing for pictures she can never share. ~

Samaritan Woman
No, I'm not here to tell you that you're weak. I'm not going to turn your weaknesses against you. Just to say you need a God to make you strong. God transforms you. I can't tell you that the alcohol drugs *** and cursing are bad and that maybe you should consider a God who can change it. I'm not going to lure you in by your own demons Just to make you believe But let me ask you this, Do you honestly believe that God can't use you? Noah was a drunk Abrahm was "too old" Jacob was a liar Leah was ugly Joseph was abused Moses stuttered Gideon was afraid Rahab was a ********** Jeremiah and Timothy were "too young" David had an affair and murdered Isaiah preached the gospel naked Elijah was suicidal Naomi was a widow Job lost everything Peter denied Christ All of Jesus' disciples fell asleep during prayer Martha worried The samaritan woman divorced Paul was "too religious" Timothy had an ulcer And Lazarus? Oh, he was dead! But Christ used each and every one of the characters of the Bible to bring Glory to His name!

* A dove carries a leaf of an olive, free; A love carries a lyric of a life giving tree; The leaf is a symbol of new beginnings; The lyric is a treat for all mourning’s; In times of heavy storms; strong winds, Relax under the shades of all minds! Welcome peace and comfort to dear one’s; Become a good Samaritan to near one’s. * BY WILLIAMSJI MAVELI [email protected] www.williamsji.com

A Good Samaritan !
"I love you" while you see them hungry should mean you feed them "I love you" while you see them thirsty should mean you give them to drink "I love you" when you see them naked should mean you clothe them "I love you" in the midst of all this need does not say, "I love your hunger, I love your thirst, I love your nakedness." It says, "I love you, and because of that, "I hate your hunger, I hate your thirst, I hate your nakedness." Love does not mean leaving as be, love does not mean acceptance. Love means feeding and giving water and clothing, love means fixing. Love means love of you and thusly a non-acceptance of their faults, a non-acceptance of their problems and their needs, Love means that you must give, to sit down like the Good Samaritan and feed the destitute, give water to the man lying down, and offer him your coat. Love does not mean that you wander by the homeless man and think to yourself how wonderful that person must be and how much you appreciate their existence and how we cannot judge others and how each soul is worth something. In fact, each of these truths are true but if you believe them, you have to take them to action. If you think someone is wonderful, I do not believe you until you help them and show them your love. If you do not try to help and fix someone, I do not believe you appreciate their existence. If you do not try and help the homeless man, I do not believe you think he is not at fault for his homelessness. If you do not take the lost and poor and needy under your arms, I do not believe that you believe every soul is worth something. Love means action. Love is not words. If love is only words, it means nothing. It is not love. However, we know what love is- we were given a definition. "For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me." Love does not leave hungry, thirsty, stranger, naked, sick, and lonely. Love is not acceptance. Love fixes. Love does.

Love does
"I love you" while you see them hungry should mean you feed them "I love you" while you see them thirsty should mean you give them to drink "I love you" when you see them naked should mean you clothe them "I love you" in the midst of all this need does not say, "I love your hunger, I love your thirst, I love your nakedness." It says, "I love you, and because of that, "I hate your hunger, I hate your thirst, I hate your nakedness." Love does not mean leaving as be, love does not mean acceptance. Love means feeding and giving water and clothing, love means fixing. Love means love of you and thusly a non-acceptance of their faults, a non-acceptance of their problems and their needs, Love means that you must give, to sit down like the Good Samaritan and feed the destitute, give water to the man lying down, and offer him your coat. Love does not mean that you wander by the homeless man and think to yourself how wonderful that person must be and how much you appreciate their existence and how we cannot judge others and how each soul is worth something. In fact, each of these truths are true but if you believe them, you have to take them to action. If you think someone is wonderful, I do not believe you until you help them and show them your love. If you do not try to help and fix someone, I do not believe you appreciate their existence. If you do not try and help the homeless man, I do not believe you think he is not at fault for his homelessness. If you do not take the lost and poor and needy under your arms, I do not believe that you believe every soul is worth something. Love means action. Love is not words. If love is only words, it means nothing. It is not love. However, we know what love is- we were given a definition. "For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me." Love does not leave hungry, thirsty, stranger, naked, sick, and lonely. Love is not acceptance. Love fixes. Love does.

There is a perpetual hole in my life where you used to be And it doesn’t matter if it’s only been an hour Or seventeen days Or seven months Or three years. It’s still there. It has the cruelest consequences. Even when you’re absent You’re here with me. and when I want you to be gone, You are but I feel your goneness, and your absence becomes a presence. and not the one I want. What’s worst is you’re not dead Or in a desolate war zone Or being a good Samaritan in a third world country; You live right down the street. You chose to be a hole rather than to be with me. I might as well save electricity And just unplug the “no” of my vacancy sign. Because there will always be one.

Inexistence.
Most of my relatives are distant, But some have the ability To bring me into an elevenses of life, And one particular person Is my cousin, Teresa. I call her Terry for short. That doesn't change how spectacular she is To me, though! Terry and her family traditionally visit my family To ring in the New Year. This New Year, just on a ten-minute car ride to a local town, Terry talked to me about her plans for her birthday, And her favorite books to read as of lately: Weedly-Deedly (about a nice dragon) And PuddleBooks, which include children characters Such as Yolanda Yells-A-Lot. A year or two backward, I wouldn't have taken the topic so seriously As I am one to easily laugh about anything Depending on what thoughts are in my mind usually. However, as long as I don't know fully the plot, the scenes Of what happens in such fiction as the PuddleBooks series, I am clueless to the lessons and learnings I could easily miss. There should be a warning everywhere Not to look down on what we think we outgrow As long as lessons are everywhere For all ages. There was also a time, Many moons ago, When my aunt had the cousins arranged Seated on a couch For a picture or two. I became irritated and uncomfortable Being claustrophobically shoulder-squished. Upset, I curled on the floor and cried In front of everyone in the room. The first gesture that Terry offered me Was a hand to pull me up from the carpet, Of which I accepted, Like a ***** toward a penetratingly loving Samaritan. Before my relatives departed today, My aunt told me how stellar Terry's memory is And can be. My aunt backed her claim strongly By telling me how Terry remembered a quiet morning Where she and I were the only ones awake And I made waffles for her. You don't have to go to a concert To make special memories. You're not required to know all Or be all To be recognized. And my cousin Terry, alive and well, An interactor for sure, Doesn't need the sky To be a soul of sunshine.
